Chapter 12: Pakan

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!

Come on, Lin Yue!

Lin Yue clenched his fists and encouraged himself fiercely in his heart and said,

Hearing this, He Youzang nodded, since Lin Yue was so confident, he didn't need to say anything, he believed in his brother as always.

The next day, Lin Yue and He Youzang went to the place where Burma gambled on mining. There are four large places where Myanmar wool rough is mined, and there are many factories, but the jadeite that can reach the jewelry grade is only produced in a narrow strip of 100 square kilometers in the Hpakant region of Myanmar. But there are many places in Hpakant that have been mined, and all that remains are large pits and abandoned mines.

Lin Yue and He Youzang went to this place this time, Pa Kang!

Hpakant - the world's famous jadeite capital, is located in the middle reaches of the Ulu River, there are more than 50 large and small jadeite rough stone fields, the entire mining area stretches for hundreds of miles, with an annual output of about 1,000 tons of jadeite rough, here is the world's earliest place to discover jadeite, but also the largest production in Myanmar, the best quality of jadeite rough origin.

This is a city of more than 100,000 immigrants, full of immigrants and expatriate businessmen from China, India and Pakistan, most of whom are engaged in the mining, trafficking, processing and sales of jadeite and jade, or opening hotels and other services, so Lin Yue and his family are worried that they will not find a guide who is proficient in Chinese and the local language.

The urban area of Hpakant is not like an urban area at all, but more like a countryside, distributed on both sides of the tributaries of the Wulu River, the houses are built on the mountain, row upon row, but most of them are wooden houses with simple structures, so at a glance you feel like you have come to a mountain village, but this place is known as the "small **" in northern Myanmar! The reason is that the night here is much more prosperous than the day, on the not wide streets, neon lights shine with dazzling brilliance, the flow of people is bustling, bars, casinos, Hair salons and beauty salons are everywhere, gambling and eroticism are the main services in Hpakant, where you can find any consumer goods you want, from French red wines, Italian haute coutures, Swiss Rolex watches, glamorous women, and of course, opium and haurnoin. Endless underground treasures and large sums of money brought in by countless jade and jade merchants underpinned the luxury and prosperity of Hpakant.

It looks dilapidated, but it's actually a place of extreme luxury.

Here you will see two diametrically opposed scenes, and even often have the sigh of "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road". Because the polarization here is so severe, the miners at the bottom are suffering from harsh oppression, think of the miners in the coal kilns in Shanxi, you can feel the situation here.

Lin Yue and He Youzang couldn't appreciate the beautiful night view of the local area anymore because they came in the morning.

As soon as they entered the city, the two of them drove away three waves of aid girls, and these two people really didn't dare to go deeper, and they were estimated to drive away dozens of waves of people after a trip.

Fortunately, at this time, a shrewd middle-aged "eye came to them."

"Two guests from afar, do you need someone to lead the way? I can take you to the warehouse at the entrance of Mamuwan, where there is a large piece of jadeite rough that has been dug up recently. ”

This person is fluent in Mandarin, and his eyes keep looking at Lin Yue and He Youzang, looking very shrewd.

Lin Yue didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to meet his eyes when he first came here, and he still knew Chinese and Burmese, and asked in surprise: "Are you Chinese?"

"My father is Chinese, came here a long time ago, I am Chinese, my name is Hong Kai. ”

The middle-aged man Hong Kai introduced himself.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries and expressed the enthusiasm of the fellow countryman to see the fellow, as for how sincere the enthusiasm is, only they know it.

"Brother Hong, can you take us to the mining area to have a look? ”

Lin Yue finally returned to the topic.

At this time, Lin Yue and He Youzang were simply dressed, although they were in a foreign country, there were many Chinese here, they were easy to recognize, and they still dressed up for unnecessary trouble. Lin Yue believes that after two years, there are still many people who remember him.

"Go to the mountains? You're going to bet on mining?"

Hong Kai reacted immediately, although there are fewer and fewer people who bet on mining, but people like Lin Yue and He Youzang, who don't go to the warehouse to see or travel, and go directly to the field know that they are gambling on mining.

"That's right. ”

Lin Yue nodded, confirming the other party's guess.

After getting the exact news, Hong Kai shook his head again and again, and persuaded him." We can talk about it, I'll tell you the truth, I advise the two of you not to go up the mountain, because there is not much worth mining here, you know that I didn't lie to you when you go up the mountain, there are still a few mines that have no value, and the value is almost mined, rather than gambling on mining, it is better to gamble on stones, there are a few better places to gamble on stones, and I have exclusive news that there are many people here who treasure ancestral wool, I can take you there, don't go to gambling on mining, ten bets and ten losses, really, I didn't lie to you!”

Hong Kai said very sincerely, as if he was teaching two people who were not deeply involved in the world.

Seeing Hong Kai's appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yue's mouth, although the other party was very sincere on the surface, but in fact it was not, at least he saw shrewdness in the other party's eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yue understood the reason.

The other party's words are false and real, it is difficult to guess what good wool is true in the mine, and ten bets and ten losses may not be true, and the purpose of persuading them in this way is actually to let them go up the mountain, because once they lose the bet, they will get very little reward as eyes. If you gamble on the stone below, your eyes will always let the employer get a few good pieces of wool by relying on your own news, so that the money you make is no better than the one who makes money in gambling and mining, and if you meet an employer who is bold, you may give him more money when you are happy, so it is estimated that he will not have to work for half a year.

In fact, what Lin Yue didn't know was that not only Hong Kai, but other eyes generally wouldn't take people up the mountain, going up the mountain was basically in vain, and in the end he had to get some hard money, so it was better to find other people who needed eyes below.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue immediately said: "Brother Hong, please rest assured, whether you gamble on the mountain or not, we will definitely give you a lot of commission in the end, and we are just going to see it." ”

Lin Yue's words made that Hong Kai's eyes light up obviously, but he quickly hid the bright light, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, since you are so persistent, then I will take you up the mountain." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yue and He Youzang looked at each other and smiled.

The merchant is really unprofitable and can't afford to be early!

The three of them got into a taxi hailed by Hong Kai, and it was obvious that the taxi driver was paired with Hong Kai and introduced business to each other, which was also a mutually beneficial thing.

Soon the taxi left the city, and through the window, Lin Yue could see that there were construction sites excavating rough jadeite along the way.

The traffic is busy, the machine roars, the mountains are either blown up by oily **, or peeled off layer by layer by mining machinery, the mountains are slowly turned into terraces, and then slowly razed to the ground, the river is blocked, and the ecological environment here is obviously destroyed!
